Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Congratulations to the team on another win. Obviously, I tried to get Milos and Viktor, who returned from injuries, back in the rotation. In general, I saw what I wanted to see. Avtodor, as expected, played aggressively and competed with us. At the same time, we missed a lot of shots from the perimeter, even though we created them and believed in them.
